Do you remember your first time you ever went on a roller coaster? I don't remember my first ride but I've been on quite of few of them over my lifetime.

My twin boys, Luke and Gabe, had their first roller coaster experience this past week at Valleyfair near Minneapolis.

My wife and I really didn't know what to expect from our nearly three-year-old boys as we placed them into one of the cars on the "Mild Thing". Would they cry with fear or cry with joy?

Just one look at the picture I've posted and you can tell that they were loving every bit of it! (They're the ones in green shirts).

It's hard for me to believe that the little 5-pound peanuts I held in my arms for the first time in October of 2005 are now about 35 pounds each and hopping onto thrill rides.
